Global Entrepreneurship Congress 2017 – Johannesburg, South Africa

Global Entrepreneurship Congress 2017 – Johannesburg, South Africa

Every year, the Global Entrepreneurship Congress gathers together thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, policymakers and other startup champions from more than 160 countries to identify new ways of helping founders start and scale new ventures around the world. At the weeklong GEC, delegates make connections, gain insights, learn about new research, and leave ready to renew their programs, policy ideas or firm founder skills.

GEC 2017 will take place in the heartbeat of South Africa, in Johannesburg — a budding startup hub that is both an economic and cultural cornerstone of the country — which promises to build on the successes of previous years.

Startup Europe Week Thessaloniki 2017

Startup Europe Week Thessaloniki 2017

Startup Europe Week has been created to include all the European regions in a startup focused program. Many global initiatives have been created to celebrate entrepreneurship. Typically, such events follow the Silicon Valley format (keynote motivational speeches, networking sessions etc). But Europe is different and requires something more when it comes to starting a business. Regional diversity and local policy making play a big role in shaping European startups. European regions are key players, from helping entrepreneurs to incorporate a company, to providing grants or taxes breaks.

The Startup Europe Week (SEW), was held for the first time in 2016 simultaneously in different cities in the EU under the auspices of the European Commission and the Startup Europe network. SEW focuses on highlighting best practices and regional policies that shape the business environment in Europe. This year, the SEW2017 (6-10/2/2017)  is expected to exceed the 280 events across EU to hundreds of cities in Europe!

On Friday February 10th in Thessaloniki, the Co-Organizers with the support and at the premises of CITY College, Sheffield University International Faculty will host  the SEW main event. The event will feature 3 panels, Q&A sessions and networking drinks. The topics of the event focus on the stage before starting a start-up: the strategy, the preparation, the decision as well as the best practices and the financial tools available from local and European, public and private resources.

6 Reasons To Quit Your Job and Become an Entrepreneur

So, what’s the best way to overcome that fear?

Learn why you should quit your job and be an entrepreneur, while watching this really helpful and entertaining video !

Ημερίδα του Ελληνικού Δικτύου Επιχειρηματικών Αγγέλων (HeBAN)

Ημερίδα του Ελληνικού Δικτύου Επιχειρηματικών Αγγέλων (HeBAN)

Tην Πέμπτη 14 Ιουλίου, 2016 το Ελληνικό Δίκτυο Επιχειρηματικών Αγγέλων (HeBAN) που εδρεύει στη Θεσσαλονίκη μαζί με την Αλεξάνδρεια Ζώνη Καινοτομίας και τον Δήμο Θεσσαλονίκης διοργάνωσε ημερίδα με θέμα «Eπιχειρηματικοί Άγγελοι και Ευκαιρίες για τις Startups: Κίνητρα για τους Επενδυτές».

Χαρακτηριστικά ο κ. Άγγελος Αγγέλου σύμβουλος επιχειρήσεων και ιδρυτής της Angelou Economics & International Accelerator τόνισε ότι:

«Η κρίση είναι η καλύτερη εποχή για να ξεκινήσει μία νέα εταιρεία, γιατί εάν πετύχει σε συνθήκες κρίσης μπορεί να θεωρείται πραγματικά επιτυχημένη και, η αμερικανική αγορά, είναι η καταλληλότερη αγορά για τους τους φιλόδοξους νέους επιχειρηματίες, γιατί αν πετύχεις στην Αμερική, μπορείς να επιτύχεις παντού».
